Dr Cotofan said ๐
"There are already substantial differences in happiness across areas in the UK, and happiness appears to be stagnating below pre-pandemic levels. What we donโt yet understand well enough is why this is the case, but this is a crucial question."
About 7โฃ million adults across ๐ฌ๐ง are now estimated to be living in happiness poverty - about 13 per cent of the population aged 16 โ
Of home nations, Wales has the highest rate of residents living below the Happiness Poverty Line (15pc), with Northern Ireland the lowest (12pc)
And the gradual improvements in average UK wellbeing levels observed before the COVID-19 pandemic have been erased๐๐
Prior to 2020, the proportion of people living below the Happiness Poverty Line was falling year on year.
That trend has now reversed โน๏ธ
Using the latest life satisfaction data from the ONS, the 2025 UK Wellbeing Report estimates an additional 650,000 adults have fallen below the Happiness Poverty Line compared to the previous 12 months ๐โน๏ธ

Very proud of this new publication. My fantastic co-author, Lea Heyne, and I look at how the management of the COVID19 economic shock affected attitudes towards democracy in the same group of countries that had experienced the 2010 sovereign debt crisis. And we found good news! #DemocracyUnderStrain
